This innovative use of a former building society office provided Abergele with its first micro pub, originally a joint venture between Cwrw Ial and Dovecote breweries, which opened in October 2018 but had been taken over by a local family when it reopened in April 2021. Information regarding the beers and ciders available, along with their prices and strengths, are clearly displayed on a large blackboard on the back wall, a bank of taps offers a selection of cask ales, keg beers and ciders with one pint take out containers also available. A large rear courtyard provides a pleasant seating area during fine weather.

Information for this venue is provided by the Abercolwyn Branch of CAMRA
